[Touch 3G General] Qabooz:
I would like to know if theres a gps program which i can use offline with the built in gps of my touch 3g. right now i use google maps which always tries to connect to the internet.

Does anyone know a well working alternative?

[Touch 3G General] sas_sas:
offline gps?

Of course there are tens of them..

OFFROAD? ONROAD??

You do not mean Offline GPS..

You mean internet Offline GPS, I am sure..

The below are onroad ones;

TomTom, Garmin, IGO8 and many others with their own mapdatas...

Offroad ones;

GPSTuner, Trekbuddy and so goes on....

You may choose one of them depends to what city/ country you live in?
[Touch 3G General] Qabooz:
thx for answering

i wanted to ask for non-internet-based gps programs, a program which doesnt need an internet connection.

Trekbuddy is Java based but for now a bit complicated (im dumb in that topic), GPSTuner looks easier so i would go for that one for now.

I live in south Germany (near Swiss boarder) so if you can suggest another nice and easy to handle im thankful.

Btw can we use Garmin on the Touch 3g with the built-in gps?
[Touch 3G General] DaM79:
Understood. You can use TomTom for example, which is a full navigation software. Works great! TrekBuddy is quite tricky. Just found it on the web - but did not understand it neither :p
[Touch 3G General] Qabooz:
I downloaded TomTom "Version 7.450.9028_repack3-qvga-black", is the Touch 3g qvga anyways? ^^"

Btw I noticed that there are no maps included, maybe you know where to find a decent one for Germany??

[Touch 3G General] clicmaster:
Hello

I would suggest you to find the tomtom version 7.915.9196 (from HTC Iolite) wich works fine for the touch 3g.
[Touch 3G General] ching4ever:
I'm using mapking + Malaysia map.
[Touch 3G General] Qabooz:
thats the kind of program i mean, easy and simple.

Too bad it's maps are only for Asia, what I need is western Europe/ Germany.

thx anyways

It sounds like you have all got various form of GPS software working.

I have just got my new HTC Touch 3G on Orange UK and want to run some logging gps software.

Can you advise the corrrect settings for the GPS com port and Baud rate.

At the moment I do not seem able to talk to the GPS and the manual is not helpfull at all.

I am trying Com 4 at 4800 Baud which appears not to work..

Any suggestions ?

Thankyou

Phil-w
[Touch 3G General] johnny2467:
What software are you using for your GPS? You need to have a software( pre installed when you bought your HTC 3G or bought separately)

I am using Garmin Mobile XT which came with my unit when I bought it.

Then you have to buy maps too, I have Thailand Map (also pre installed)

and Philippines map, downloaded free from website.
[Touch 3G General] Qabooz:
Im using the same like you, Com 4 and 4800.

I use google maps and my GPS works fine.

Dont underaestimate the "do it outside" rule, inside a room, even in front of the window i wouldnt ever get a gps signal, once outside it works well and fast.
[Touch 3G General] DaM79:
1. GPS Logging Software: GPS Cycle Computer (freeware)

2. COM and BAUD are correct - run QuickGPS before! This will download some basic information via your GSM-Cells about where you are more or less. Then the GPS Signal will be found even quicker.
[Touch 3G General] trunkmonkey:
Try COM 4 at 57600 Baud.

Works for IGo 8 and Navigon 7.4
[Touch 3G General] hadimassa:
I use McGuider 2009. very accurate and a quick fix.
[Touch 3G General] Qabooz:
gsm cells? is this for free or do you pay?

<-- have a prepaid card, dont want to risk
[Touch 3G General] xda-kungfu:
No Internet mapping software

Try terracrosser.com

You download google or yahoo maps to your PC, which then creates the map file. Transfer this to your PCC and away you go . . .

First let me say this is all very sad. Though I never use MortScript, I do sometimes run Sakajati's ROM.

There are unfortunately some issues with what you propose.

While I love XDA-Developers.com (primarily for its people and community), the board owners are not exactly known for 'making things happen'.

Second, clicking ads to "support someone" is a surefire way to get booted from the ad network. This is a definite no in the ad-world and against all regulations. Besides, all this does is move money from businesses who pay for those advertisements to freeware developers, while the users skimp on the cash again, and those who pay for advert gain nothing - you just click to support, not because you are interested in the ad product. So you rise prices for businesses trying to sell something. In turn this will make their products more expensive, you hurt the business and their consumers, and you have gained nothing. Its frowned upon for good reason.

Right now the best and quickest solution is probably still a PayPal rally. Frequent users should simply just donate a few bucks (remember when PayPal'ing, donate at least $2.50 or so or so much will be lost by the money they take, it's hardly worth donating at all). I have been thinking of a solution for this for years, even before I joined the WM community. I may have thought of something but unfortunately right now do not have the time to set up - however it will remain on my to-do list.
[Off-topic] wg5566:
Thank for your attention on tjis issue. There must be a solution for that, at least not 'completely impossible.

But the circut of money in 'ads' industry. Is just like 'everybody follow the rules here'.
[Off-topic] wg5566:
Since the activities concerning 'advertising' may become a key factor in judgement of this issue. Here I add some more info. There are books about 'advertisement', or lots of internet materials available, but probably not everyone has time to read it. Let me just tell what is advertisement in this simple way:

The major target of ads is not to reach people who want the product, because people wants it already knows it. It is targeted to those people who doesn't want it, or even doesn't know it. Advertisement will let them know the product, and MAKE (sorry I use this word) them reallize that they want it.

This is why ads sponsors would be glad to pay even for a mouse click and a slight glance at what they are advertising. At least this make the clicker have a short memery about their brand name, or their product idea.

After read this, you may feel somehow uncomfortble about 'ads'. But sorry, this is just the prevailing commercial activity.
[Off-topic] wg5566:
Please Post Your Comments on This Issue!

Anybody pass by here and reading this, if you have some opinion, comments, or different idea about this issue, please post here.

Maybe you are freeware developer, or commercial software developer, or common user, or moderator, it doesn't matter. What I'm thinking about is not trying to persuade the forum board to issue a new advertising policy, really need to be concerned is how to help those GREAT freeware developers OUT. Avertisement is just the best way that I can figure out by myself. But maybe you guys have better idea about this issue.

Here appeal to everybody:

If you are using a freeware, and find it's really helpful, or may bring additional conveineince and joy to your life. Please think about the life of the developer of the freeware. And first please consider a DONATION to them, if you can not, please think about what else you can do.

Everybody please leave your voice here, maybe we can work out a way together!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
What i’ve done is edited the IPL/SPL version from 3.08.0001 to 2.25.0001.

The reason for this is, I was building a ROM and accidently removed some USB registry entries or something else equally stupid, the result was the phone booted with no USB support.

This would be an easy fix if I wanted to dig through my crap to find a mini SD card to fix the registry or replace files.

However I decided to save myself the search and put the phone in boot loader mode, I figured I would just flash the original ROM back into the phone.

This did not work because the update utility can’t flash over the newer 3.08.0001 IPL/SPL.

Long story short with the edited version I can now flash back to the original ROM even if I waste the OS.

This is of course for soft SPL users not a replacement for hard SPL.

As always use at your own risk.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Dukenukemx:
Is this 3.08 for G4 owners or could G4 owners always get 3.08?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
Yes and yes.

The problem is if you flash 3.08.0001 to your phone and you mess up the OS you could have a useless brick.

The IPL/SPL 3.08.0001 wasn’t made for many devices.

This would only allow you to flash back to an OEM ROM, the OEM ROM would write over the top of IPL/SPL and they would have to be flashed back to the phone again.

Its much more easier to use g-Config than to add those pesky registry settings.

However. Navigon rotates now on my device but it does not rescale correct....

so it does rotate the screen but then its just a 480 * 800 rotates so i see only 480 * 480....

This is not really what i want i want it to be like TomTom. TomTom flawlessly rotates the screen for me....

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] M@rtyn04:
Have also just downloaded and installed the try & buy version of Navigon 7. Only problem is that I can't see the maps on the screen. All installed to SD card. Downloaded the maps to go with it (Q2_2009 Europe) and placed them in the "Maps" folder in Navigon.

When I start the prog, get all the guff about it being a trial version and having 30 days to try it. It picks up 7 to 9 sat signals in no time at all and tells me exactly where I am. But the screen is totally white where a map should be.

Any idea where I am going wrong? This looks like being a great software packet and if I can get it going I will more than happily buy it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] nunein:
I think this can happen in case of missing MapDrawer.nfs file (or improper version). This file should be in the \map subdirectory.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] M@rtyn04:
OK..... don't seem to have that file. Without the map files themselves, that directory is empty.

Thanks nunein :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] nunein:
Beside of these files (and the map files) there should be 6 other files (*.nfs and *.psf) and the "Landmarks" directory incl. the file "Landmarks_EU.nfs".

So I guess something went wrong with the sw installation.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] M@rtyn04:
Once again, nunein, thanks very much for your help. Added the MapDrawer.nfs to the "Maps" directory and suddenly I can see the map. Used it this morning to get to work (I know the way really!!:rolleyes:), and it was brilliant. Think I will have to splash out the 99€ for the activation.

I have asked this else where, but any ideas on the volume of the turn by turn instructions, i can barely hear them.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] azzuri_uk:
The volume of the instructions can be adjusted within the software using the speaker icon however it seems to take the system volume as a base for this so if your system volume is low then you will never be able to turn it up loud enough

You just need to remeberto set the volume to a reasonable level before you start.

Also.. Not sure how long its been there but the diamond2 is now listed on the supported devices on the Navigon website. I've just reinstalled and it works fine without the hacked files and Navigon Fresh finally lets me download the updated maps directly. Still doesn't change to landscape mode as standard though but its a start.

Good day all,

OK Can someone explain the benefits of 6.5 over 6.1? is it more stable? does it run faster? I am currently using PROven's ROM with 6.1. I love it. I am not a big fan of the look of 6.5 and would probably want to run it with Rhodiums TF3D on it. Is it worth upgrading if you dont really want the different interface?

Thanks in advance for any advice. I also apologize if this is somewhere (I am sure it has been discussed) and I just have not found/overlooked it.

Regards,

SoBBie

PS One last question... I noticed in a few ROMs that they are windows mobile 6.5 with both types of interfaces (the list of items and Rhoduims TF3D). Can someone explain to me how it can use both? would you have to turn off TF3D? is TF3D just one item in the list?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] player911:
There are lots of benefits. One being that Windows Mobile 6.5 is now natively supports finger friendly swipes and gestures which are A LOT better then the TouchFlo gesture. Now you can swipe left/right to move through tabs, and everything is more finger friendly.

An example of this is the new Homescreen and the new Start menu. Many of the default apps have been rewritten to utilize the new finger gestures.

Also the menu systems have been updated to give bigger finger friendly areas to click on.

And it is pretty fast... really fast actually. Alot of the new OS uses transparencies and fade-in animations that really require a solid 2D performance from the graphics driver. I've found really good frame rates in games because of this.

It is heavily customizable too. All of the graphics are easily changeable. There are already a lot of creative skins coming out for WM6.5.

Overall it feels similar to WM6.1 but there are a lot of new toys to play with. The new native finger scrolling is fantastic and very "iphone" like. Once you play with Wm6.5 you'll never go back.

You can run all of your custom homescreens and such if you want... but I really like the default WM6.5 homescreen. Your question about running both the default homescreen and TF3D... I believe the answer is TF3D Detacher or using "Second Today". Using both would be overkill, since both do the exact same function (Weather, Shortcuts, Time, Pictures, Music, Calendar, Settings, etc).

There are some awesome themes though... I wouldn't jump to TF3D too fast. Check this theme out. It's what I'm currently using and it's awesome.
